True Story: Mr. Rogers and Dr. Huxtable Are Our Sweater Style Icons

It's all about menswear this season, especially when it comes to cozy boyfriend sweaters and grandpa cardigans. There's just something so comforting and nostalgic about wearing snuggly "borrowed from the boys" knitwear styles (even if in reality, they're owned by us and purchased from the womenswear department!) Maybe it has something to do with those familiar faces—and wardrobes—that we grew up with on TV. From Mr. Rogers to Dr. Huxtable, guys on television rocked some seriously good knitwear... so good, in fact, that it still inspires our winter wardrobes today. Take a look at these TV sweater icons to see why.

Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable, The Cosby Show

We must start this list with probably the most famous television dad—and knitwear icon—in the world Bill Cosby, or as he was known to millions of The Cosby Show viewers, Dr. Heathcliff “Cliff” Huxtable. Dr. H. had the BEST European-made sweater collection in Brooklyn Heights, if not all of New York City—techno-color intarsia, mismatched patchwork embellishments, natty jacquards and the most unexpected graphics ever, like runners. And combs. Combs.
